Tips from the Community
The construction of the baroque parish church St. Maria Magdalena Gernsheim began in 1750 and ended after a three-year construction period in 1753. However, a Gernsheim church was first mentioned as early as 908, when it was acquired by the Lorsch Monastery. The master builder of the Gernsheim Baroque church was Johann Valentin Thomann, who was probably the strongest contemporary master builder after Balthasar Neumann. On September 02, 1753, the church was consecrated by the then Mainz Auxiliary Bishop Nebel. In 1880 it was decided to expand the church. Unfortunately, this resulted in the loss of the Thomann building's cohesiveness, unity and spatial effect. The extension was consecrated on July 1, 1889 by Bishop Dr. Paulus Haffner. The Second World War also left its mark on the Gernsheim parish church. From March 25 to 26, 1945, the church was destroyed. The architect who was commissioned with the reconstruction was Hugo Becker. The reconstruction started on May 27, 1946 and 5 years later, on May 1, 1951, the parish church was consecrated by the then Mainz Bishop Dr. Albert Stohr. Four months later, on September 29, 1951, the five new Gernsheim church bells arrived.
